Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Reportedly Won’t Be Sold On Russian PS Store

Activision and Infinity Ward‘s upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot is reportedly not going to be available to purchase from the Russian PlayStation Store, according to DTF.ru.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare In Russian PS Store No-Show

The news comes in wake of the release of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare PS4 beta, although those in Russia have been unable to participate. Sony later confirmed that the shooter will also not be sold on the region’s PS Store. There’s no plans to bring the game to the Russian store either, with Sony refunding all pre-orders for Modern Warfare.

Speaking of the beta, a menu glitch seemingly confirmed that the game will support loot boxes, something which a lot of people are understandably miffed about at this point.

Activision will publish Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on October 25. The game is a full reboot of the popular series, which was introduced back in 2007 and represented a major departure for the franchise at the time, eschewing the World War II backdrop for a contemporary setting.

Unlike last year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Modern Warfare’s gritty reboot will include a full-fledged single-player campaign, which will see popular character Captain Price (now voiced by Barry Sloane) thrust back into action.

Modern Warfare has given the boot to the traditional Season Pass model in favour of free post-launch updates. Furthermore, its DLC slate is said to be the biggest in the franchise to date.

Call of Duty 2020 is rumoured to continue the Black Ops series, and will reportedly feature a campaign that spans 40 years. Activision confirmed a few years back that the franchise had sold over 250 million units worldwide, making it one of the best-selling video game series of all time.
